when i run it with ice in the water it drops to right at freezing but with just room temp water, it stays right around 20 Celcius, my question is will a good power supply (non computer) power it right and drop it below zero? im thinking that the power supply is only 12V and probably not nearly enough amps...also, will a drift .8 drop me below zero with room temp water? im thinking of getting one, maybe putting the 72W i have now on my vid card...not so much for OC but for 3D stability, i overheat the card before i get bored of playing games

Well I've made sure that the CPU/PELT/COLDPLATE/HEATSINK have a good fit...
I use Artic Silver ...
I've got my Fan on the Alpha running @17volts (6800 rpm)...
And have substantial case cooling.
Double check the waterblock/pelt for a good fit.

If your interested there is an H2O addative that you can purchase at some car service stores/ auto parts stores. It is made for H2O cooled car radiators and gives the H2O a better heat conductivity. I read about it in an artical somewhere a while ago, maybe if you called up your auto parts store they would be able to help you find this product.
